Embedded Safety Tooling & CI/CD Engineering Intern (m/f/d)

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

We're looking for a motivated Embedded Safety Tooling & CI/CD Intern (ideally 6 months, mandatory internship) to join our Safety Software team in Schönaich (close to Stuttgart), with a flexible start date. If you're interested in software quality, automation, and want to get hands-on inside a live IEC 61508 certification process — this is a rare opportunity to contribute to something that genuinely matters.

HERE'S WHERE YOU MAKE AN IMPACT

• Extend CI/CD pipelines for our Positron SDK using GitHub Actions — building the automation infrastructure that makes a safety-critical development process reliable, repeatable, and audit-ready

• Automate test report generation for TÜV evidence packages, turning raw test output into structured documentation that certification reviewers can actually work with

• Integrate static analysis tools — clang-tidy, cppcheck, MISRA C linters — into the development workflow to catch issues early and support ongoing compliance

• Implement code coverage measurement and visualisation, giving the team clear, actionable insight into where the test suite is strong and where gaps remain

WHO YOU ARE

• Enrolled MSc student in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or Software Engineering — with a practical interest in how software quality is actually enforced, not just described in a process document

• Strong Python skills, comfortable with bash scripting, CMake, and Git in a real development environment where things are moving fast

• You've worked with CI/CD pipelines hands-on — GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar — and understand what makes a pipeline robust enough to trust

• You can read embedded C and navigate MISRA C constraints without getting lost; writing it from scratch isn't required, but understanding it is

• Genuinely interested in software quality and functional safety tooling — experience with static analysis tools is a bonus, curiosity about why they exist is the baseline

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU

• Flexible working hours when life takes unexpected turns

• Company support for gym memberships through Wellpass

• Birthday vouchers

• Drinks and coffee (free of charge, of course)

• Snacks and fruit for all employees, as well as breakfast every Monday

• Regular global team-building events such as boot camps, skiing, and summer BBQs

• An international team with long-term prospects

• Highly competent colleagues who are experts in their field and happy to support you in your learning and growth

• Modern office space

• Our company's WG (upon availability)

About us

HACKING THE PHYSICS AND ECONOMICS OF MOTION CONTROL WITH DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY

At Synapticon, we are revolutionizing motion control for robotics and machines—right at the point of motion.
Our approach is completely new: we integrate previously separate components such as motors, drives, sensors, and gearboxes into seamless units. At the same time, we are digitizing performance and quality factors that previously depended on expensive mechanical manufacturing.
World-leading innovators are choosing Synapticon to pave their way into the future of intelligent, motion-controlled systems.
